How do I know my purpose in life? I'm not talking about work, not about your daily duties, and not even on the long-term goals. I mean the reason that you do here - the meaning of your existence.
Perhaps you - a nihilist, and do not believe that there is a higher purpose, and for you life has no meaning. It does not matter. If you do not believe that you have a purpose, it does not mean that you will not find it, just as the lack of faith in gravity does not save you from falling.Everything that leads disbelief - search destination will take longer. If you - one of those people, just change the number "20" in the title of this blog post on "40" (or even "60", if you're so stubborn.) Chances are, if you do not believe in destiny, you do not believe in anything, what I said. But even if so, what you risk spending a hour? So, just in case.
Here is the story of Bruce Lee, who served as the basis for this little exercise. The master of martial arts has asked Bruce to teach him everything he knew about martial arts. Bruce showed him two glasses filled with water. "The first cup" - Bruce said, - "that's all you know about martial arts. The second glass - that's all I know about it. If you want to fill your glass of my knowledge, you must first get rid of her. "
If you want to find a purpose in this life, you first need to clear his mind of all the acquired destinations (including the idea that you do not at all).
So how do you know your ultimate goal? There are many ways to do this, some of them quite complex. It describes one of the easiest ways.The more you trust him, the more you believe it works, the faster this method will work for you. However, if you have any doubts or you think it is - a completely stupid and a waste of time, this method will still work until you apply. Again, just take more time.
Here's what to do:
A. Take a blank sheet of paper or create a text document where you would type the text (I prefer the second - so it will be faster).
2. Write the title: "What is my purpose in life?"
3. Write an answer (any answer) that comes to mind. It should not be a complete sentence. Relatively short sentences.
4. Repeat the third paragraph, is not write an answer that will make you cry. This is your destiny.
That's all. It does not matter, you consultant or engineer or a bodybuilder. For some people, this method is acceptable. For others, it seems utter nonsense. To free the mind from the hustle and goals imposed by society, usually takes 15-20 minutes. Incorrect answers come from the consciousness and memory. But when, eventually, will be the correct answer, you would think that he came from quite another source.
Those who are accustomed to live without thinking about the meaning of its existence, it will take more time to weed out wrong answers, perhaps more than an hour. But if you persevere, then after 100 or 200, and perhaps after 500 replies, you will find an answer that will tide of emotions - an answer that will change everything. It sounds very silly to those who never did. Well, even if it seems silly, but you can still try.
When you begin, some answers will be very similar. You can even start another list. You can switch to another, adjacent to the subject and make it 10-20 more answers. And it was good. You can record any answers that come to mind during the process.
At some point (usually after 50-100 responses), you will want to quit.In this case, you will not see the result. You may want to think of a reason to do something else. This is normal. Resist this impulse, and continue to write. The feeling of resistance will soon pass.
Perhaps there will a few answers that will cause a small burst of emotion, but does not make you cry. So, in a different way. Highlight them and move on - you can return to them later and change anything.Each of these responses - is part of your destiny, but individually they do not have to complete. When you get the answers of this kind, it means that you are attacked on the trail. Keep up the good work.
Make a list alone and without a break - this is important! If you are - a nihilist, you can start with answers like "I have no purpose" or "Life is meaningless," and then delete them from the list. If you do, then eventually reach the goal.
In carrying out this exercise, I spent about 25 minutes. Answer number 106 was what I was looking for. The components of the final response occurred at 17, 39 and 53 of the step. Then all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. At stages 55-60, I would like to quit and do something else, expecting that the experiment will fail. I was very annoyed and even angry. At 80 I made a two-minute response, break closed his eyes, relax, throw everything out of my mind and concentrated on getting an answer. This technique has proven very useful, because after the break, the answer I got was much clearer.
Here's my final answer: to live consciously and courageously, to find love and reciprocity in participation, inspire others and to withdraw from the world.
When you find your own answer to the question, why did you come into this world, you feel deep within the response. You will feel that these words fill you with energy - you'll feel it every time reading them.
Find your calling is easy. It is much harder to live each day in accordance with it and work hard until then, until you start to carry out its mission.
If you're going to ask why this method works, wait until you have completed successfully. When this happens, you do get an answer to this question. If you ask 10 people who used this technique, why it works, it will likely get 10 different answers that have passed through an individual set of beliefs and their own map which contains the truth.
Of course, this trick will not work if you stop execution until you receive your end result. I calculated that 80-90% of people are able to achieve the goal of less than an hour. If you are totally entrenched in their beliefs, and resist the process, you may need 5 sets and 3 hours of time.However, I suspect that these people just stopped working halfway through (after the first 15 minutes) or no start. But if you enjoy reading this blog (and you still do not intend to abandon the newsletter), it is doubtful that you will fall into this group.
